Not from me. I am no expert on regen.

Brushless DC is basically an inside out DC motor, so that no electricity has to be passed by brushes to the spinning parts - the parts that need the electricity stay still. You do need a fancier controller though, for it all to work.

Like I said, it is more similar to AC in how it works.
